After crossing the Sadol River, he left the kingdom of Araso, and the thought of getting rid of the possible pursuers was full of energy.

The place where the kingdom of Araso meets the wetland swamp is very strange, the ground there seems to have been forcibly torn apart by some force, resulting in a long fault zone on the surface, flanked by unclimbable cliffs hundreds of meters high and 90 degrees, and the crack in the middle has a rushing water rushing and roaring is the Sadol River.

There are a few powerful people in the team with a gap of more than thirty meters who have a way to get over, and Matis is one of them that Ainan has come into contact with. But after all, there are only a few people in the team who have that kind of strength, and the vast majority of them can only cross the river honestly.

For this reason, Jazz searched for a place to cross the river and sent some of his guards to cut down trees to make tools for crossing the river.

Someone approached Ainan's side and asked in a low voice, "Ainan, do you really want to follow?" ”

Ainan turned his head and found that it was Arugao, who was also a mage's apprentice.

Ainan was not the only mage apprentice in the team, and Lothar may not have brought all the other things with him when she left Riptide Castle, but the royal collection of books from all dynasties was loaded and transported away as soon as possible. These collections are of great value, and in addition to the literature on general knowledge, a large part of them are related to magic.

Although they are far inferior to the inventory of Violet Castle, and even many things are not up to date, not to mention that the magic masters and even the high mages are not very eye-catching, but for magic apprentices, they are a great treasure that they dare not imagine.

The Jazz clan kept encouraging the locals to leave with him everywhere he went when he was in exile, and this is how the predecessor of the body occupied by Ainan and the dozen or so magic apprentices in the team were fooled into the thief ship.

The mage is not only a symbol of profound knowledge in this world, but also a symbol of strength. In order to win over the hearts of these apprentices, Sir generously opened up his collection to them, giving them access to valuable texts that would normally take them a decade or more to access.

Ainan looked at Arugao, and from the other party's twinkling eyes and sneaky behavior, he guessed Arugao's thoughts: "You want to leave?" ”

In this era, knowledge was only in the hands of a few, and there were very few ways to learn it, and magic apprentices like Ainan and Arugao had to work for years to get their hands on the real magic texts, even in the enlightened Violet Castle, and only after winning the favor of their mentors could they have a chance.

Sir gave them free access to the royal family's collection, which was a great favor to them in the perception of the world, even though Ainam didn't need it.

Seeing that he was about to enter the wetland swamp, it was just when everyone needed to help, but Arugao wanted to quit, what was going on?

Receiving the favor of others without repaying it, and taking the benefits when others need them and withdrawing, this kind of behavior Ainan despises in his heart.

The eyes are the windows of the soul, and what people think in their hearts will be revealed through their eyes, and Ainan looks down on Arugao, and his eyes when he looks at each other naturally have a color of disdain.

Annoyed by Ainan looking at Arugao like this, he held back his anger and made one last persuasion: "What even Emperor Soladin didn't do can be done by our people?" Listen to my advice, don't be reckless, look around, I'm not the only one who wants to go. As mages, we've done our best to escort him all the way out of Alathor, and he deserves to be paid part of it, so don't feel sorry for Sir. ”

"Even the reason has been found, it seems that you are not improvising."

Ainan looked around and found that the other magic apprentices in the team had gathered, whispering one by one, and only himself and Arugao had not yet passed.

In Ainan's eyes, can he still understand this scene?

These magic apprentices are fundamentally the same as Arugao, and I am afraid that when they joined, they had the idea of taking advantage of it.

A small abacus is good enough.

"Escort? This kind of thing can only be said by someone like you, so get out of here before I turn my face. Ainan turned to the side, leaving only the back of Arugao's head, "No matter how far you go, I can't get my mouth dirty when I talk to someone like you." ”

Arugao looked incredulous: "What did you say? ”

"He said tell you to get out, didn't you hear?"

Madish came to the two of them at some point, and it was clear that the knightess had heard their conversation, and that she was loyal to Sir and was extremely disgraceful to the Arugals. To put it more seriously, Arugao's behavior is deception and betrayal, if it weren't for Matrice's sanity, she would have stabbed Arugao to death with a sword.

Escort?

Lord Sir wants you apprentices who can't even release low-level spells to escort you?

Are we all ornaments?

If you really want to find someone to escort a high-level mage with the conditions of the knight, it may not be easy to find, but a mid-level mage is definitely no problem. When joining the team, Arugao and these people swore that they would follow Jazz to the death without fear of the difficulties and dangers on the way, and the Jazz also showed enough respect for them along the way, who would have thought that when they needed to help, they all retreated...... No, there is one that is not, and that is the young apprentice named Ainan in front of him.

Matrice looked at Ainan with the same look as she looked at Arugao and the others, the former gentle, the latter like a sword unsheathed, the sharp blade of which would cut people to blood.

Unable to stand Madis's eyes and Ainan's disdainful gaze, Arugao turned around and left angrily: "Stupid guy, your strength is only the bottom among us, even we don't dare to go You want to do it, I see how you die." ”

Is it stupid?

Hehe!

Ainan shook his head amusedly, Arugao thought he was stupid, thinking that he had made a wise choice, but in Ainan's eyes, the other party was stupid.

"The road of magic is rugged and long, and we will encounter countless difficulties and obstacles on this road, and whenever we are faced with a choice, ask ourselves: can we endure loneliness and loneliness, can we hold on to our beliefs, can we be fearless, stick to our truth and bravely defend it, this is the true mage."

A man in a blue mage robe suddenly flashed from his side, and the magic energy that had not yet dissipated told Ainan that he had just cast a teleportation-type spell.

The only ones who can appear in front of people in mage robes are real mages, and people like Ainan and Arugao are just magic apprentices, and their status is not at the same level at all. Ainan saluted the other party according to his memory: "Hats off to you, Your Excellency. ”

The blue-robed mage nodded expressionlessly, which was a response to Ainan. It's not that he's arrogant, it's that the blue-robed mage isn't very sociable, and he spends almost all of his time on magical research and related experiments, and the total time spent on socializing in the three hundred and sixty-five days of the year adds up to less than ten days.

"Kerr ......"

Seeing the blue-robed mage, Matrice's happy greeting was interrupted by the other party's hard hand, only to see the blue-robed mage take out a sheepskin scroll and hand it over: "This is the map of the wetland swamp that I copied from Violet Castle, you go and bring it to Sir and ask him to bring what I want quickly." ”

The Swamp of Wetlands is a dangerous area for most people, with the exception of High Mages and Masters of Magic. Some of the specialties of the swamp are occasionally used in magical experiments, and it is not surprising that the masters of Violet Castle have drawn a map of the wetlands to make it easier for the mages to get in and out.

It turned out that Sir had contacted the blue-robed mage early in the morning, and it was not like a headless fly to try his luck in the swamp of wetlands.

Ainam labeled Lothar 'pretty reliable'.
